Indian Rape Victim Dies in Hospital
NEW DELHI, India (AP) —
Doctors say a young Indian woman who was gang-raped and severely beaten on a bus in New Delhi has died at a Singapore hospital.
A statement by Singapore’s Mount Elizabeth hospital where the 23-year-old victim was being treated said she “died peacefully” early Saturday (Singapore time).
The horrific ordeal of the woman galvanised Indians, who have held almost daily demonstrations to demand greater protection from sexual violence, from groping to rape, that impacts thousands of women every day, but which often goes unreported.
She and a male friend were travelling in a public bus on December 16 evening when they were attacked by six men who raped her and beat them both. They also inserted a metal rod in her body, stripped both naked and threw them off the bus on a road.
The attack two weeks ago brought new focus on police and community attitudes toward woman in India. Demonstrators in New Delhi have demanded stronger protections for women and stronger punishment for rapists.
